General of the Heavens

"Hey, Brother Li, the silver dollars are pretty good quality, right? Don't thank me, it's nothing. But I really do have something I need your help with..."

"Didn't you say you had connections to get weapons? Get me a couple... Huh? No, I'm not going to kill anyone, don't run away..."

Another one who talks big but doesn't actually listen...

After hanging up the phone, Ning Chen sighed softly. In China, guns are indeed not easy to come by. He had been thinking of getting a couple just in case, but now it seems that plan has fallen through.

Time flies, and a month has almost passed. Naturally, the day Ning Chen travels through the myriad worlds is getting closer and closer.

Ning Chen has no parents.

But Ning Chen still has people he cares about in this world, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to do those unethical live streams to sell antiques and collectibles.

With his looks, he doesn't need to work hard at all!

Everything Ning Chen did was to repay the orphanage director who raised him…

Anyway...

Ning Chen spent the past month in his rented, run-down antique shop, trying to acquire some items through his connections, but ultimately failed.

Until the system notification arrives.

"Ding! Your second time-traveling journey is about to begin, destination world—Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Wrath of Xiangxi! Please choose yes or no?"

"The Wrath of Xiangxi? This is a big mission!" After waiting for a month, Ning Chen didn't hesitate any longer and directly chose "Yes".

The next second, Ning Chen's vision blurred.

When I opened my eyes again, it was a completely different world!

.........

Legend has it that there are four mysterious sects in the martial arts world, which are divided into the Tomb Raiders, the Grave Robbers, the Mountain Movers, and the Ridge Unloaders, according to their motives, methods, and lineage.

The tomb raiders and the grave hunters are skilled in geomancy and geomancy, and are well-versed in the I Ching and feng shui. However, the mountain-moving and mountain-unloading schools are rarely recorded and are even more mysterious.

Legend has it that the Unloading Ridge relies on strength, with tens of thousands of disciples working together to hollow out a mountain and extract treasures, hence the name Unloading Ridge.

The Mountain Moving Sect, on the other hand, uses magic. They are not after wealth, but rather seek elixirs and medicines. For hundreds of years, they have been searching for the Muchen Pearl to break the curse on their people.

Originally, the two factions had no dealings with each other, but by a twist of fate, they joined forces in the mysterious and dangerous Ping Mountain in western Hunan, staging an earth-shattering event...

.........

"Ding! System tasks issued, task completed. Task 1: Sign in at Ping Mountain Ancient Tomb; Task 2: Seize the Zombie Inner Core. See attachment for task details."

Ning Chen: "..."

What the hell is the attached document?

With a change of heart, Ning Chen opened the task attachment: Task 1: The host must check in at least three important locations in the Ping Mountain Ancient Tomb within the story time. The following are the check-in locations: Ping Mountain Underground Palace, Wengcheng, Danjing, and Wuyin Corridor...

Task Two: The Zombie Inner Core from the Yuan Dynasty is the essence of a zombie. If an ordinary person were to consume it, they would be immune to all diseases and have a strong body. However, at least 90% of the essence would be lost, which would be a waste. If the host were to seize the Zombie Inner Core, they could absorb all the essence and greatly improve their physical fitness.

Ning Chen remained unmoved. Both tasks were difficult, and he was too weak to accomplish anything alone. He could only try to take advantage of the chaos by riding on the coattails of the Mountain Moving and Ridge Unloading teams.

"Achoo!"

Ning Chen sneezed violently.

I was so focused on checking the system tasks that I never expected to be thrown into this freezing, snowy deep forest by this damn system in the blink of an eye.

Ning Chen vigorously wiped his nose. Now was not the time to be concerned about personal hygiene; if he hesitated for even a few more seconds, Ning Chen was afraid his snot would freeze...

He exhaled a breath and rubbed his hands together vigorously. He shivered, trying to ward off the cold. His clothes were tattered and thin, and he didn't know where they came from.

With the vast expanse of white snow and no one around, Ning Chen felt as miserable as if he had eaten shit. He knew that time travel was risky, but to be eliminated immediately upon landing was a bit too much.

After walking for a long time, only a string of footprints behind him accompanied Ning Chen…

"Hey, is someone there?"

Ning Chen felt that both his hearing and eyesight were much better than before, and from the noise, he could tell that several people were chasing something.

"The Hunter!"

This was Ning Chen's first reaction. Deep in the mountains and forests, covered in snow, with birds occasionally taking flight, it was a treasure trove for hunters who relied on the mountains for their livelihood.

As expected, Ning Chen followed the commotion and saw three Miao people, one of whom was shooting an arrow at a white wolf!

However, the man clearly underestimated the speed of the white wolf. With a nimble movement, the white wolf not only dodged the deadly arrow but also changed direction and began to flee at top speed.

Holy crap!

Ning Chen was dumbfounded! The white wolf was running in the direction he was in, and the three Miao people obviously didn't expect anyone to appear here.

Ning Chen had the urge to turn around and run away, but on the snow-covered ground, Ning Chen's speed was ridiculously slow compared to the white wolf.

Seeing the white wolf leap up, ready to bite him, Ning Chen felt extremely nervous.

However, without realizing it, a faint golden light shone in his eyes, and this golden light seemed like a lifeline!

"You beast, why didn't you run away? Why did you bite me!"

Ning Chen cursed angrily, but due to his high tension, he didn't even notice that the white wolf's speed had suddenly decreased in his eyes.

Ning Chen slightly turned his body, and the white wolf missed its target...

It hesitated for a moment, its eyes filled with confusion, then turned and ran away...

However, all that was heard was a "chirp" sound!

The arrow whizzed past, and the man who had just shot the arrow, whose shot was a sure hit, missed and shouted in shame and anger. At that moment, the second arrow arrived!

"Waaaaaaah X﹏X"

The arrow, like a streak of light, carried unparalleled power as it pierced the white wolf's neck, pinning it to a tree beside Ning Chen.

Looking at the white wolf, who was right in front of him and died with its eyes wide open, Ning Chen breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his fist, and his palms were covered in cold sweat.

His heart was pounding, his blood was rushing, and he was even a little dizzy. He sat down directly on the snow in a daze.

"Young man! Are you alright?"

Three Miao people, two men and one woman, ran over one after the other. The Miao person who saved Ning Chen's life put his hand on Ning Chen's shoulder and was startled again.

"Wearing so little? Young man, this is the first time I've seen someone as reckless as you in the woods. What's wrong, thinking of doing something stupid?" the man teased.

"Senior brother, isn't he terrified?"

The woman next to the man asked.

"It can't be that bad, he's perfectly fine."

Ning Chen didn't speak, but he wasn't frightened as they had imagined, because Ning Chen seemed to have figured out their identities.

After all, as someone who had already transmigrated once, Ning Chen was generally not easily frightened, since he wasn't afraid even when he was almost dissected back then.

These three people, dressed as Miao people and addressing each other as "senior brothers," rushed over from dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye, even though Ning Chen had difficulty walking just a few steps.

In addition, the leader, who was serious and stern, held two German 20-shot mirror-finish pistols and exuded an imposing aura; he was incredibly cool!

If Ning Chen still doesn't know the identities of these three people, then he's really been kicked by a donkey. Forget about traversing the myriad worlds; he might as well just buy a block of tofu and smash his head against it.

"Partridge Whistle, Old Foreigner, Flower Spirit!"
